Q: Do I need to be screened yearly?

Yes, in fact these regular screening guidelines are in again in accordance with World Health Organization:
* Age 30 and below, once every two years
* Age 30 and above, once every years
* Age 50 and above, twice a year

Q: Does health screening regularly guarantees me good health?

Health screening should be done routinely. 21st century is an era for healthcare prevention and health promotion, ie. Early Detection, Early Treatment. To have a truly healthy living, a proper healthcare prevention concept must be inculcalted to conduct regular health screening and implement proper evaluation of health conditions.

In fact, an effective health screening package will :
* Reduce the frequency of falling sick
* Lower the costs of medical expenses
* Maintain a better health and quality lifestyle
* Assist in a better understanding and control on the health condition of you and your family members.

Q: Why are your rates so low compared to others and I don’t understand how can this be done in an environment like a 5 Star hotel?

MJ Life specialized in preventive healthcare management. We does not perform treatment or diagnosis like hospitals. Our health screening system uses a computerized automated production line method, whereby we are able to screen in quantity and quality. This in turn, brings our costs down and you can enjoy the elegant and cozy ambiance.

Q: I’m still young and do not feel any particular illness symptoms. Why do I need to waste my time doing health screening?

It is critical that health screening be done as a preventive measure, in view of your family history plus risk factors, and not age. The truth is more young Malaysians below the age of 40 are at risk of getting heart attacks due to poor diet, stress and unhealthy habits. In 2007, 144 stroke victims are hospitalized everyday and unfortunately, the number is increasing very quickly every year.

Q: Isn’t it useless if the health screening result showed no diseases or illness?

Health screening result my show no signs of illness when the disease have not reach a certain detectable stage. Occurence of data from periodical health screening gives you a way of measuring disease development and the success of early treatment.

One good example is kidney failure. Many patients with kidney failure have no symptoms. CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) is a world health problem, and sadly is a silent disease. It often goes unnoticed until it is too late, ie. when the kidney function reaches only 10%. If you are suddenly present with nausea, vomiting, etc, you are already finished.

Q: I had my blood test and medical policy. Do I still need to perform a comprehensive screening?

Blood test is a general screening. WHO indicates that a good screening program must cover on 3 things, ie. general measurement, organ structures and organ functions. Medical policy covers diagnostic screening and medical treatment.

These health check does not cater for preventive steps towards your good health if you are asymptomatic (ie. you feel well, but have risk factors like age, family history of disease or certain health conditions). MJ Life screening helps you identify problems as early as possible.

4 out of 5 stroke victims have no apparent symptoms or warning signs, and they do not see it coming. Data from National Health Registry showed that 4,071 new patients commenced dialysis last year and they barely have noticeable symptoms before.

Q: Can I schedule for a screening without joining membership?

Health screenings at MJ Life are for members only. Preventive health screening is all about you and every individual’s health status is different. A proper health management can only be done by keeping track of member’s health records for comparisons, evaluation, analysis and to suggest a personal solution. All members also get a free web personalized login where you can browse your health screening report up to 7 years.

As a member, you can enjoy unique rates for screening subsequently. We keep the rates low so that you can afford to screen yearly, which is the most critical factor in preventive health program. Doing a health screening for once only is meaningless for preventive measure.

These 104 screening items will costs RM2000-RM3000 alone to be done outside. So it will be nearly impossible to do it routinely.

Q: Can i walk in for screening?

We do not entertain walk-ins. You will required to do prior health screening bookings in order to have sufficient time to complete the questionaire form and collect your stool.

We allocate 6 batches per day for screening and each batch consists of 15 persons. This will greatly reduce waiting time and crowded space to ensure smooth operation. Plus walk-ins will mess up the queue for other members which have book their time earlier.

Health screening should not be rush. Manage your time carefully no matter how busy you are for there’s nothing more important that your own well-being. If you are too busy, it’s really time you go for a health screening, for you have no time for being sick at all. Let MJ Life assist you.

Q: I’m still young and I do not need to perform so many screening items. Or can I screen for fewer items on my subsequent health screening?

The health screening items are not there without a reason. Again, these pre-defined set of preventive screening items are in unity with WHO standards. Most killer disease are silent killers, whereby it’s always too late when you are present with sickness. We do not want that. We want to focus on the right thing and catch it much earlier. Our message to the public is prevent. Read this news how Dana Reeve never thought she’d catch lung cancer at an advanced stage, she always thought that breast or ovarian cancer are the number killer cancer for ladies.

Q: Is it safe to do health screening yearly? I heard that too much radiation is not good for my health.

Yes, spot on. In fact, WHO declares that a regular screening should not be invasive. That means it will not destroy or infect any of our body parts. The purpose of a health screening is to be healthy, so it’s irony if a health screening in turns make you unwell.

CT scans are meant for treatment and diagnostic. At such, this is not done in MJLife as we are doing preventive screening. Please refer to this latest article from TheStar about CT Scans and that it could be the reason people catches cancer nowadays.

Q: I can go to the hospitals for screenings too. Why should I do it in MJLife?

Hospitals focus are on diagnostic and treatment. Priorities are always given to patients. Hospital is a highly infection rate location. Doing a health screening in hospitals means you are sharing equipment, clothing, the air and also environment with all sorts of patients.

A preventive health screening should be a happy thing and not one that makes you stressful or worried.

MJ Life provides you with a first class atmosphere with low rates where healthy people comes for screening. Your mindset will changed positively on improving your health rather than think negatively whether you’ll become like one of the patients in the hospital.

Q: Oh wait, i heard that MJ Life is a scam. What’s with this email circulating around saying that this is a scam?

First, we’d like to thank the person who created this email. It has helped us tremendously in creating a buzz. Obviously, if someone are naive and very ignorant about something, they tend to make a weak comparison of things. Just like babies, they’d think everything which has four wheels are the same, until you explain to them what is a car and a bus. We encourage you to survey in details about preventive comprehensive screening and that’s where you gain your insights, not by forwarded emails. Below are just some additional things for you to ponder:

* IBM (International Business Machines is a multinational computer, technology  and IT consulting corporation headquartered in Armonk, North Castle, New York, United States) and WI Harper (one of the founding venture capital franchises in Greater China) attended and witnessed MJLife Health Screening Center launch.

* Harvard Business Review published an article about MJ business. If MJLife is a con artist, will this even happen:

* Lancet, world’s leading general medical journal published MJ’s findings about CKD and eGFR. Here’s the link to to the lancet with the article. (Be warned that Lancet charge you to see the full article with MJLife name on it.)

* Shigeaki Hinohara, the 98 year old japanese physicians bring MJLife Health Screening System into St.Luke hospital Japan and present MJ Life with the Shigeaki Hinohara award:

* MD Anderson (international reputation for exceptional research and superb medical practices institute) visited and greatly impressed with MJ Life:

Plus, it’s even proven from Harvard University that people who does regular preventive health screening in MJ Life enjoy a longer lifespan!

And much more!!
